Tales of a Family - March 12, 2015

Bonita Avenue by Peter Buwalda (received via Blogging for Books)
3.5 stars



Hmmm... this was a strange book about a strange family with strange problems, and yet I couldn't stop reading it...and it is LONG.  Siem Sigerius is a prominent mathematician and university rector with two daughters, a doting wife and a complicated past.  This novel blurs the line between past and present and it is confusing at the beginning but once I got used to the different narrators and time periods I flew through this book.  There really are no truly likable characters and that did somewhat take away from my overall enjoyment and the ending is just bizarre but I still found the reading this strangely addicting.  I received a copy of this book from the Blogging for Books program in exchange for an honest review.
